Misty Mountain Cold - The Hobbit Trailer Theme ABC

I saw someone asking for this tune, but haven't seen an ABC for it yet myself, so I took a stab at making a midi for it. I ended up with 3 slightly different versions depending on the number of players, which I'll list below. The first is a quartet for bass, harp, lute, and melody. There's a flute version of this in the youtube link in my sig.

Terrific video! Thanks for posting it!

I got a new video posted in my sig link too. Our band just came off a tour of our first official set and made a short video to feature some of our arrangements. Next week we'll be back on the road with set 2 : D

I should know this, but how do i make these into playable abc files?

Hey, I just replied to you in another thread! Small world : D

To make these into playable files, I use Microsoft's Notepad program which I think comes with every windows install. Just copy and paste the text (ctrl C, ctrl V) into a Notepad doc, but be sure to save it as a .abc file as opposed to the .txt default. Then place the file in right directory. I think the path is users/documents/LordoftheRings/Music. You may have to actually create the 'Music' folder.

The once you are in-game you can type key commands to play the file. Equip an instrument, enter 'music mode', and type...
/play songname

I think that's it, hopefully someone corrects me if wrong. I've been enjoying the Songbook addon which makes selecting and playing songs all point and click. I highly recommend getting that for anyone playing with lotro music; it's awesome!

@Gemer:

Thank you for notes. I don't know neither ABC or musical notes. I looking to easy notes from MID files, like A#3 C4 G3 F#4
Could you share easy notes or MIDI file of main melody? I couldn't figure out Melody part of the song;

Yes indeed! I just saw your post today and made me realize I should upload the file to freemidi.org. It's the first midi file I've ever created, and since I created it with the intention to export several abc versions (solo, duet and quartet), it's a little sloppy how the tracks are organized. But anyone is welcome to play around with what I got here.

On a side note, my band is scheduled to perform in Bree tonight on Meneldor. Show starts shortly after 10pm Eastern US inside The Prancing Pony. We'll be warming up with a few ensembles (including this song) before our full set, which runs about 20 minutes. I should have a set2 highlights video up later this week, anyone at The Pony tonight might be in it!

I apologize in advance for bumping this thread, but I'm a bit desperate.... I absolutely LOVE what Gemer has done, but now that the full version is available, would it be possible for some kindly, talented soul to provide a full, solo version of Misty Mountain Cold for either lute or flute? I'm very sorry to be a bother, but I'm just really excited at the possibility of being able to play the entire thing instead of the 48 second lil' teaser piece.

Fourteen months ago that I forgot to request MIDI. I'm so sorry. You've just helped but I realize now. Shortly before, I was looking Misty Mountains MIDI file in Google and downloaded from http://freemidi.org/download-13138-332
After one minute, I've remembered that I wrote to lotro forum. And I'm logged and I readed your reply. I was very surprised because it's MIDI file your exported that MIDı in freemidi.org! Yes Gamer, I'm very glad your help: reply, MIDI export and upload.

Thank you so much! And I'm sorry for my forgetfulness. And bad English...

I really appreciated the helpful spirit that Gemer had for the music system community on LOTRO. Quality ABC files as always from him and The Journeymen.
Below is the solo version of the theme song from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Can't wait to try the multi-part version with my kinnies.
